Abstract:
At this project, at first step has been tried to solve the flow over a plate using unsteady vortex lattice method that reached to this purpose considering reference [5] and using available code at this book. And due to existent limitations of above code, has been tried to promote it to more complex three-dimensional modes. And at next step, the code has been approved using Wagner and Theodorsen theoretical methods and then the results validated with others results. Finally, after confidence of numerical results of the written code, has been studied the effect of design parameters on the Ornithopter aerodynamics parameters to can reach to final purpose that is optimum aerodynamic shape for Ornithopters wing
